Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1022 - 1020: Eradicate Completely [Second Update]

Chapter 1022: Chapter 1020: Eradicate Completely [Second Update]

"Sun Cheng, I am giving you one more chance. Think carefully before you speak!"

The voice of Qiu Yiyun echoed from within the Cold Moon Pavilion.

In an instant.

The frigid air that enveloped the Cold Moon Pavilion experienced a momentary stagnation.

At the same time.

In Binhai City, the City Lord’s Mansion.

City Lord Sun Cheng abruptly opened his eyes. As the City Lord of Binhai, he had been jointly nominated by the powers of the Southern State Holy Land, Beiming Palace, Nine Dragons Valley, Giant Whale Alliance, and Sky Alliance.

It could be said that he had connections with these major powers.

At the same time...

It could also be said that he had no relations with any of these powers.

Sun Cheng was originally just a Loose Cultivator above the endless North Sea, chosen to manage Binhai City due to these great powers’ desire to establish the city and their need to nominate a City Lord.

He was selected precisely because he had no relations with any of the major powers.

Despite appearing supreme in the eyes of the inhabitants of Binhai City, as their City Lord.

In reality.

Sun Cheng was very aware that any one of these powers that had formed Binhai City could easily crush him at will.

For this reason.

After becoming the City Lord, Sun Cheng had always been diligent and prudent, handling affairs with utmost fairness and smoothness, adeptly navigating among the major powers. But now, Sun Cheng was in a foul mood.

"Damn it, how could Qiu Yiyun show up here? And he killed the young master of the Money Gang? This is trouble..."

Sun Cheng wore a gloomy expression.

Qiu Yiyun was a trusted elder close to the Domain Lord Huanyu of the Yellow Region. Not to mention his special status, his own strength in the Earth Venerate Realm was enough for Sun Cheng to take seriously.

Now, having inadvertently offended Qiu Yiyun, this was not a good sign for the usually cautious Sun Cheng.

"Forget it, I should go meet him first!"

Sun Cheng took a deep breath, his face regaining a gentle smile as his figure flashed away from the City Lord’s Mansion.

......

Cold Moon Pavilion.

Sun Cheng’s figure appeared before Xiao Yi and the others. He immediately noticed the corpse of Qian on the ground, his pupils shrank slightly, then he walked towards Qiu Yiyun: "Ah, Elder Qiu, why didn’t you inform me of your visit? Look at the trouble this has caused..."

"Sun Cheng, Southern State Holy Land appointed you to this position of City Lord because we hoped you would uphold justice, making Binhai a true City of Freedom. But what I see now, your performance as a City Lord is hardly satisfactory!" Qiu Yiyun said coldly.

The reason he killed Qian was firstly because Qian was too ostentatious and did not take him seriously.

Secondly, he wanted to use this incident to issue a warning to all parties.

To kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

After all.

They couldn’t possibly bring Ning Ruoshuang with them to the North Sea. At least for the coming period, Ning Ruoshuang had to remain in Binhai City. If the issue were not resolved completely, once they left, people like Qian would find trouble for Ning Ruoshuang again.

They would be too far to reach her!

Sun Cheng knew exactly what Qiu Yiyun referred to: the beauty contest matter. He said with a mournful face, "Elder Qiu, you have the full picture. It’s not that I disregarded the matter. The beauty contest is backed by the young leader of the Giant Whale Alliance. You must have heard of his tyrant behavior. To put it nicely, I’m the City Lord, but to put it bluntly, I’m just a watchdog. How dare I interfere with their matters..."

Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about relationships and worldly wisdom.

Sun Cheng was appointed the City Lord of Binhai by the various powers, which also meant he had to owe favors and maintain face for these powers.

How could he offend the young leader of the Giant Whale Alliance?

Qiu Yiyun said indifferently, "I will report this matter to the Holy Land myself, and I don’t care what the young leader of the Giant Whale Alliance wants to do. No matter how much turmoil he causes in the endless North Sea, it’s beyond my control. But Binhai City still belongs to the Southern State, and as long as it is within my Southern State territory, I won’t allow him to cause trouble."

"Rest assured, I will notify the young leader of the Giant Whale Alliance as soon as possible!" said Sun Cheng hurriedly.

"Apart from that..."

Qiu Yiyun pointed at Ning Ruoshuang and spoke in a grave tone, "Ruoshuang is my dear niece; during my absence, you must ensure her safety! If anything happens to her, this shall be your fate!"

Swish!

With a flick of his finger, Qiu Yiyun caused the head of a bald man hiding nearby to explode violently.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the soul dispersed.

"..."

Sun Cheng’s eyes twitched fiercely.

His gaze shifted toward Ning Ruoshuang, knowing full well that if anything untoward were to happen to her, Qiu Yiyun would never let him off the hook. With this thought in mind, Sun Cheng quickly nodded: "Elder Qiu, rest assured, even if I have to sacrifice this old life of mine, I will definitely protect Miss Ruo Shuang!"

"Hmm!"

Qiu Yiyun responded with a sound, his expression easing somewhat. He gently patted Sun Cheng’s shoulder and handed him ten origin stones, "I know it’s not easy for you being the city lord, but since you’re in this position, you must live up to the Saint Lord’s trust in you. These origin stones, consider them a reward for you!"

"Tha-thank you, Elder!"

Sun Cheng’s eyes lit up at the sight of the origin stones.

These were a full ten origin stones!

Enough for his cultivation for a hundred years!

Qiu Yiyun’s method of combining both a heavy stick and sweet honey made Xiao Yi inwardly nod in approval. In this way, he thought, Sun Cheng would surely fight to his last breath to protect Ning Ruoshuang during their absence.

Ning Delun could also leave without worry and accompany him to the North Sea to search for the Dragon Emperor Tomb.

And indeed, this was the case.

Ning Delun looked at Qiu Yiyun and Xiao Yi with gratitude, aware that if it wasn’t for protecting Ning Ruoshuang, they wouldn’t need to deal with such a petty person as Qian.

Sun Cheng hurriedly said, "Elder Qiu, those people from the Giant Whale Alliance will stoop to any level to achieve their goals. As the saying goes, it’s easy to dodge an open spear but hard to defend against a hidden arrow. I think it would be best for Miss Ruo Shuang to stay at my city lord residence for the time being!"

"You make a good point!"

Qiu Yiyun nodded in agreement, aware of just how vile the Giant Whale Alliance’s methods were, and then looked toward Ning Ruoshuang, "Ruo Shuang, what do you think?"

Ning Delun hastily said, "Ruo Shuang, daddy still has things to take care of. As soon as I finish with these matters, I’ll come back to pick you up, and then we’ll go to the Southern State’s Sacred Land together..."

"Daddy..."

Ning Ruoshuang opened her mouth, intending to accompany Ning Delun, but seeing the determination in her father’s eyes, she could only nod and say, "Alright, then I’ll trouble City Lord Sun!"

"Don’t mention it!"

Sun Cheng smiled.

It was only then that Qiu Yiyun turned to Xiao Yi: "Lord Xiao, with such an arrangement for Ruo Shuang, what do you think?"

This unconscious inquiry caused Sun Cheng’s pupils to shrink slightly, and he looked at Xiao Yi with a trace of surprise and uncertainty. He hadn’t noticed anything special about Xiao Yi before.

To think that even Qiu Yiyun was so respectful toward him!

Xiao Yi’s lips curved slightly with a faint cold smirk, "I have no objections to Ruo Shuang’s arrangement, but the handling of the Money Gang seems a bit too simplistic. Since we’re already enemies, why give them the chance to catch their breath and seek revenge?"

"You mean..." Qiu Yiyun was startled.

Xiao Yi’s figure had already vanished from everyone’s sight.

Meanwhile...

Inside the grand estate of the Money Gang.

The leader of the Money Gang, Qian Tongshen, was in a furious rage. His cultivation was inferior even to Qian’s, only establishing the Money Gang by relying on Qian’s connections with the Giant Whale Alliance.

Wreaking havoc in Binhai City for many years, he was tyrannical and bullying, committing all sorts of atrocities without any evil deed undone. freeweɓnøvel.com

But just now...

His son was killed!

This made Qian Tongshen scared and even angrier: "Damn it, isn’t it just the Earth Venerate Realm? Daring to kill my son, this enmity must be avenged or I will not be human. Someone, send my orders to the Vice-Leader of the Alliance..."

However...

His words trailed off, with no one coming in response.

"Damn it, what good are you for? Didn’t you hear your leader’s words... word... words..." Qian Tongshen cursed under his breath while opening the door.

But in front of him, the world was pitch black.

Instinctually, he looked up.

And he saw only a huge foot, mountainous in size, descending from the heavens with a thunderous crash. Amidst the ear-splitting boom, the entire Money Gang compound within a radius of dozens of miles was reduced to ruins.

On the ground...

Only a huge footprint-shaped chasm remained.

The Money Gang, numbering 13,652 people in total, all perished...
